Question

I’m currently working on an aspx website. I want to create a “clone” of it, ie, run the same whole website in another folder, for eg, i want http://www.example.com to run in http://www.example.com/temp_site as well. Would creating a new folder temp_site and copying all the contents of my httpdocs folder into temp_site work?

Thanks!

You can write a httpmodule class to implement it. The following is the sample code

public class RidirectModule : IHttpModule

{

#region IHttpModule Members

public void Dispose()
{
    // Nothing to dispose
}

public void Init(HttpApplication context)
{
    context.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(context_BeginRequest);
}

#endregion


void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;            
    if (context.Request.HttpMethod == "GET")
    {
        string query = context.Request.RawUrl;
        if (query.Contains("/temp_site"))
            context.Response.Redirect(query.Replace("/temp_site", "") );
    }       
}

}

Then adding the httpmodule in web.config file.
